Your calls, answered. Always.

AfterTone answers when you can't. It has a real conversation with the caller, then emails you a clear summary within a minute. Your phone still rings first.

Works every day.

No technical skills needed. Your assistant is live in minutes, and your phone still rings first.

01

Design your assistant

Give it a name, a voice and a personality. Tell it about your business and the questions to ask every caller. Our AI writes the greeting.

02

Hear it on a real call

We ring your mobile right now so you can talk to your assistant and hear exactly what your callers will hear. No card needed for this step.

03

Start your 7-day free trial

Add a card, get your Australian number straight away, and pay nothing for a week. Then one short code on your phone sends unanswered calls to your new number.

04

Read the summary

Within a minute of every call you get an email with who called, why, the details and what to do next. Add SMS if you want it on your phone too.

The full walkthrough

Personal. Professional.
Practical.

AfterTone works anywhere a missed call means missing something that matters. Your assistant takes the call while you finish the job.

Tradies & small business

On the tools all day? AfterTone qualifies every lead, gets the job details and the suburb, and flags the urgent ones before you have put the drill down.

"Hi, I've got a burst pipe in Surry Hills, it's urgent. Can someone come today?"

Professionals & consultants

Client calls after hours? New enquiries while you are with someone? AfterTone handles them professionally so nothing falls through the cracks.

"I'm interested in your services. Could we schedule a consultation next week?"

Personal & family

In a meeting? At the gym? Your assistant takes the call, gets the message and lets them know you will call back.

"Can you tell him to pick up milk and call mum before dinner?"

Beyond the summary.
Custom AI workflows.

AfterTone can do more than take a message. We build bespoke receptionists that qualify leads, collect structured job details, quote from your price list and deliver exactly the report your business needs.

  • Trade and service businesses: job scope, suburb, urgency and budget, delivered as a quote-ready brief.
  • Professional services: screen new enquiries, recognise existing clients, route to the right person.
  • Multi-location businesses: consistent call handling everywhere with central reporting.

Good questions.

Do I need to change my phone number?
No. You keep your existing number. You set your phone to forward unanswered calls to your AfterTone number with a short dial code. Your phone still rings first; your assistant only answers if you don't pick up. We show you every tap for iPhone and Android.
What does the assistant sound like?
Natural and calm. You choose the voice during setup from a lineup that includes Australian accents, and you can hear each one before you decide. You can change it any time from your dashboard.
How quickly do I get the summary?
Within about a minute of the call ending you get an email with the caller's name and number, why they called, the key details and what needs doing. On the Email + SMS plan a text arrives on your mobile as well.
Can the assistant answer questions about my business?
Yes. In your dashboard you can add opening hours, services and prices, an address, FAQs and alternative contacts. The assistant uses that to answer callers, and can hand urgent calls to a colleague.
Is there a limit on calls?
No. Both plans include unlimited answered calls. Each call is kept to a few minutes, which is plenty to take a proper message; the assistant wraps up politely if a caller runs long.
Do callers know they are talking to an AI?
The assistant introduces itself by the name you give it. If a caller asks whether they are speaking to a person, it says honestly that it is an AI assistant.
How does the free trial work?
Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. You add a card at signup, your number is assigned straight away, and nothing is charged for 7 days. Cancel from your dashboard before the trial ends and you pay nothing.
What if I want to cancel?
Cancel any time from your dashboard. There is no lock-in and no cancellation fee. Your assistant stays active until the end of the trial or billing period.
